Dollarweed is a perennial weed found in most wet sites. Stems are capable of rooting at the nodes but also may be floating. Once dollarweed gets established in an area, it spreads vegetatively by underground runners called rhizomes. The leaves of dollarweed are round in shape and approximately 1 inch in diameter. The dark green, fleshy leaves are glossy with scalloped edges and are on long, slender petioles. Flowers have 5 white petals and form in clusters on the end of long stems. The small flowers grow in a distinctive umbrella-like shape.
